Initial experience with concomitant prolift™ system and tension-free vaginal tape procedures in patients with stress urinary incontinence and cystocele.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to report our initial experience about the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of transobturator tension-free vaginal mesh (Prolift™) and concomitant tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) as a treatment of female anterior vaginal wall prolapse associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Materials And Methods: We reviewed the charts of patients who underwent Prolift™ and TVT between April 2009 and March 2010. All patients had a physical examination and staging of cystocele.

Ureteroscopic surgery for a large upper ureteral stone in an infant with bilateral vesicoureteral reflux.

Pediatric urolithiasis is a relatively rare disease that can have lifelong consequences. The management of pediatric urolithiasis should be individualized with careful consideration of the patients' small body sizes, delicate tissues, needs for general anesthesia with every procedure, and risks of long-term complications. Miniaturization of urological instruments has made the treatment of distal ureteral stones by ureteroscopy in children more common, but there are few reports of the ureteroscopic removal of large upper ureteral stones in infants.
